of course we can hope they put the documents soemwhere we can access 
them. unfortunately we have no access to teh vic intranet.

also,this assumes we KNOW they have docs on this subject when we need 
them. of course, asking often acheives this knowledge.  but the 
experience of being involved in the process is worth more than many 
docs, imho.

hmm.
face to face good.
AND adding a national meeting on it also good imho, if with planned 
agenda. technical meetings also tend to be more productive than the 
admin ones;)

> /me prefers to live in the real world

so how does the open source movement thrive globally then? only holding 
technical discussions locally and face to face?
thats not very real world david:)

besides david, accepting staus quo as 'the real world' means nothing 
ever changes or advances. boring.

i'd rather attempt and fail a million times, and succeed once,  than sit 
back and cuddle my cynicism:)

carpe diem in everything dude!
